Topping Out

It's official, we have a roof!

To be exact, we have a flat, triple torch-on felt roof, with three skylights above the two bedrooms and bathroom, and an automatic opening vent (or AOV, if you're nasty) that building control insisted we have to save us in the event our home is engulfed in smoke (God forbid, touch wood, return to sender, all of those things).

Fun fact: It’s called ‘torch-on’, as they literally have to use a blowtorch to weld it on to the plywood surface beneath to create a waterproof seal.

I'll likely never see the roof again after the scaffolding comes down in a few weeks, so for now, I'm enjoying the sweet views of Lewisham. Oi oi!!

Yes, I’m gripping on for dear life!
